Mickey smiled and bumped their shoulders together.
He’d stripped off his jersey and some of his pads. He never wore a compression layer on the top, claiming he got too hot, and the skin on his chest and upper back was a blotchy pink-red color as he turned and reached for a power bar.
Rafe let himself look for a moment as Mickey tore the snack open and stuffed it in his mouth, noticing the flex of his shoulders and the freckles across them. Rafe suddenly wanted to lean in, press his lips to them, and taste the salt of Mickey’s skin.
Rafe fumbled his bottle and nearly dropped it.

The last thing Rafael Moon needs is to fall in love with another teammate ...
Following a painful breakup, Rafe is looking forward to a fresh start in Boston, and he’s thrilled when he immediately clicks with his new D-partner, Mickey Krause.
Mickey’s smart, talented, and loves telling Rafe what to do. It feels good to have some structure and, finally, Rafe’s life is coming together on and off the ice.
As their friendship deepens, Rafe slowly realizes he’s falling for Mickey. Too bad he’s been down this road before. He knows exactly how badly it could end.
Roles are defined and tension smolders, but neither of them can stop their out-of-control feelings.
An independent perfectionist, Mickey’s had a rough season so far and he’s immediately smitten with Rafe’s sweet, earnest vibes.
Finally having someone who works well with him in the bedroom and beside him in a game has him hitting all his goals.
But when Mickey’s world is turned upside down following an altercation with Rafe’s ex, he’ll have to learn to let go and let someone else lead for once.
Their relationship and the team depend on it.
